Neuropsychological Assessment

A neuropsychological assessment helps us to learn more about a child’s or young person’s brain type, including their thinking skills, behaviour, learning style, and social and emotional functioning.  It identifies their individual strengths, challenges, and differences, which then helps us to best support them, at home, school, or out in the world.

The assessment process:

1. Initial assessment interview with parents to learn out more about the child’s history and current presentation
2. Three to four assessment appointments with the child (number of appointments required may vary)
3. Feedback appointment with parents (and child or young person, where appropriate) to discuss assessment results, including any diagnoses that have emerged, and a plan to best support their needs.
4. Finally, a comprehensive report is provided to parents.  This includes the child’s results and any diagnostic information relevant, as well as practical strategies, recommendations and resources.
